A Phone Call Or A Message

Hi all,

I am just posting my point of view here so hope you guys take this thread just like that and share your views.

I am a kind of person who like to talk all than to close ones or certain persons. And try to answer and reply to their phones call as soon as possible. And parents … I want to talk with them at least 3-4 times a day or even more than that.

I find it odd when people (not all but some) get into relationship or get married they start to ignore friends. More than ignore I can say like either they don’t want to answer them or they don’t have time for it. If latter is the case then there is nothing one can do about but still at least can give a call for just a minute or can at least send a message stating they are busy or catch you later…. something like that. But Why to ignore totally? I have no idea.

In friends case its ok. But parents? They brought up their children at least to maximum of 18 even till 30 years of age. Just a five minute talk with them every day won’t take much of our time right. For men it’s not problem for those who stay with parents but rest... and women… why can’t they spend 5 minutes of precious time with parents I wonder.

We spend time to cook, to roam, to do shopping, to watch TV, to go to theatre and of course exercise and meditation... Yeah bus travel (Spend those time either by listening to songs or watching videos or movies) all these have some interval time in between I think. We are not robots to move or do something as per programmed. We can do things, plan things as per our time and situation right? We are not working or being busy 24x7.

When I hear the happiness in my parents voice when they speak that itself make me miss them a lot and talk with them a lot. And by seeing all the reactions from people after marriage or getting into relationship, I am glad I learnt something and decided to talk with my parents at least two times a day no matter what.

I don’t know whether keeping in touch is important or not. But spending at least a minute with our friends and parents it gives us joy than pleasure.

And there by adding my favourite “Joy and Pleasure” poem from our school English book (forgot the standard)

Now, joy is born of parents poor,
And pleasure of our richer kind;
Though pleasure's free, she cannot sing
As sweet a song as joy confined.

Pleasure's a Moth, that sleeps by day
And dances by false glare at night;
But Joy's a Butterfly, that loves
To spread its wings in Nature's light.

Joy's like a Bee that gently sucks
Away on blossoms its sweet hour;
But pleasure's like a greedy Wasp,
That plums and cherries would devour.

Joy's like a Lark that lives alone,
Whose ties are very strong, though few;
But Pleasure like a Cuckoo roams,
Makes much acquaintance, no friends true.

Joy from her heart doth sing at home,
With little care if others hear;
But pleasure then is cold and dumb,
And sings and laughs with strangers near.

William Henry Davies
